Morning all!
I've recorded another small phrase for you to work with. This is a common blues lick that uses a slide to move from the 5th to 6th fret and back again. If you look at the screen grab you'll see that you can use just your 1st and 3rd fingers to play this lick. If you listen to the recording you'll notice an audible difference between the first slide lick and the second slide lick. The second slide lick uses an extra picked note which makes it sound more aggressive. Have a play with it and see if you can work it into your solos

A slightly distorted clean tone will work fine, which is what I've used. Or you can have a bit more gain if you prefer - it's up to you. Use whichever guitar is most comfortable and enjoyable to play. Most blues masters would shake their heads at me for using a 7 string Ibanez but guess what? It works!  Also.. take a look at this latest lick I've posted. We will keep using this collab thread to share ideas and help each other build a solo!

I'd like to encourage you to allow more empty spaces between your phrases. At the moment, you're filling most of the space. In blues you want to leave little gaps here and there You're using mainly the natural minor scale which has 2 extra notes than the minor pentatonic. This can make it sound too dark sometimes.. too dark for blues even. Maybe try using only the minor pentatonic as it will suit the backing more. Or try a bit of both?? QUOTE (bleez @ Jul 31 2015, 06:56 PM) obviously Id prefer to get something way more sophisticated and 'widdly' but this is what Ive been working on -This is great stuff by the great Scot(t)! You've got a good mixture of slowness with business. My fave bit is how you outline that chord turnaround at 0:44-0:45 - excellent! I only wished for that whole tone bend at 0:48 to be a semitone higher, so it would be a minor 3rd instead of a 9th... if you had hit that note and let it hang (or picked it a few times at the top of the bend)and then brought it down a semitone for the F chord it would have been just perfect!

Here's one from me
Of course, per usual, I am still struggling with leaving any gaps of any kind in a solo I found a tone that didn't lend itself to shreddery which helped keep me in check a bit. I"m using only the built in tone bits inside of LOGIC X.https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/blues-project-logic-x |

QUOTE (bleez @ Aug 3 2015, 10:30 AM) thank ye kindly sir I wasnt 100% on that last bend, sometimes it sounded really nice and other times I thought it was a bit iffy. I'll defo try that extra semitone though, still got plenty time before the deadline. Thanks for the pointer Yeah, 9ths can be a funny interval.... it's all about how you resolve it with what note comes next - it's all trial and error!

Is that traces of an auto wah on there?? QUOTE (fzalfa @ Aug 3 2015, 08:17 AM) ok Ben, i'll do another try with penta only Laurent Ok great, I look forward to it! |

The tone is the best one you've tried so far. The note choice is also the best. I can hear more pauses between the phrases which allows everything to breathe. As guitarists, we don't have to fill every single space with something.. we're just like vocalists. Sing a line here and there Great job - how do you feel about it? QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Aug 5 2015, 01:02 AM) Thanks Ben Believe it or not, I put aside my beloved auto wah, this is a patch using the pedal board inside LOGIC X.I think what your hearing is the SPIN BOX and TOTAL TREMOLO doing a bit of a wah impersonation Here is a grab. Ah right.. it's got this really nice quality where it seems to open out on the extended notes
